Abstract:
After runoff from construction sites and other disturbed sites in the Research Triangle area turned the troubled Neuse River red and grabbed newspaper headlines in June, Governor James B. Hunt, Jr. set in motion a series of events that led to recommendations for improving North Carolina’s Erosion and Sedimentation Control Program. Among the recommendations are changes for self-monitoring and recordkeeping, site risk assessment, and a rapid response team.

Abstract:
The newly enacted Clean Water Responsibility and Environmentally Sound Policy Act (H.B. 515) includes a section concerning the role of stakeholders in the approval of water quality models. This requires that nutrient limits be substantiated by the application of a calibrated water quality model developed with participation of stakeholders. The new role for stakeholders is consistent with the recent increased public involvement in environmental assessment and decision-making.
